Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop met yesterday for the first time with Gov. Chris Christie since Fulop went public with his claims that he is a victim of political retaliation by the governor’s staff.

Fulop, a Democrat, accused the governor of cutting off Fulop’s access to state officials because he didn’t cross party lines to endorse Christie’s re-election bid. Yesterday morning, the mayor said his conversation with Christie focused mostly on yesterday’s prisoner re-entry conference at Saint Peter’s University, where both men spoke.

“He said he’s holding up fine,” Fulop said. “I’m not going to get into it with him about any of that other stuff because there’s no reason to.”

Just before the George Washington Bridge lane closures scandal revealed that Christie allies believe Fulop to be a political enemy, Fulop went public with claims that top state officials canceled a host of meetings with him once he told Christie’s political team that he wouldn’t endorse the Republican governor in last year’s gubernatorial race.

The mayor said yesterday was the first time he had seen Christie since Fulop’s July 1, 2013, inauguration, where Christie gave a speech.
